Some theories of fear appeals have predicted a curvilinear relationship between fear and persuasion, often based on the description of an overtime process. This paper reviews selected theories of fear appeals against what is known from the meta-analyses and finds that some of the theoretical questions simply cannot be addressed with existing data. Recommendations for testing linearity and curvilinearity in dynamic designs are presented.
